Two days after the end of a 187-day-long ice out by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre‚ the New York Post’s Steven Nelson was part of the press pool Wednesday during President Biden’s remarks about a funding battle with Congress on the border‚ Israel‚ Taiwan‚ and Ukraine‚ so Nelson jumped in afterward to press Biden on why he’s “interacted with so many...foreign business associates” of his brother Jim and son Hunter. Nelson shrewdly caught Biden’s attention by saying he had questions about China and Ukraine and they certainly were....but not on Biden’s terms. Biden probably forgot that Nelson was the reporter who asked him on June 8 if‚ based on the investigation from the House Oversight Committee‚ he accepted bribes and sold out the country. Smart move‚ Steven.     He then dropped two devastating numbers for Biden amid his reelection campaign (and simply in terms of credibility with the American people): “[P]olling by the Associated Press...shows that almost 70 percent of Americans‚ including 40 percent of Democrats‚ believe that you acted either illegally or unethically in regards to your family's business interests.” Given the dozens of liberal media puff pieces and both general and specific allegations of Biden family malfeasance‚ it’d certainly be higher if weren’t for such a complicit media. At any rate‚ Nelson then wondered why he’s spent time with so many of his corrupt son and brother’s pals: “Can you explain to the Americans — to Americans‚ amid this impeachment inquiry‚ why you interacted with so many of your son and brother’s foreign business associates?” Biden said he would “not...comment on that”‚ but then did the opposite as he said not only did he “not” meet with any of them‚ but such accusations are “just a bunch of lies.” Nelson was incredulous: “You didn’t interact with any of their business associates?” Biden stayed pat: “They’re lies. I did not. They’re lies.” Rating: Pants on fire. On September 26‚ our friends at the Washington Examiner noted that Biden met for a February 2014 lunch with Hunter’s business partners wrapped up in both Mexico and Ukraine. Further‚ Nelson’s Post explained that‚ in 2022‚ Hunter’s business partner Eric Schwerin went to the Obama-Biden White House 19 times.  In February 2014‚ Joe Biden met with Hunter’s business partners from Kazakhstan‚ including an oligarch with former Kazakhstan Prime Minister Karim Massimov‚ who returned to that spot two months later. Speaking of Kazakh businesspeople‚ Joe also stopped by a dinner with more of them on April 16‚ 2015 with the group having included an executive with the infamous Ukrainian gas company Burisma. Just on those examples alone‚ the President’s claims are hogwash.

Amazon appears to have a serious problem with anti-Semitism among its employees‚ and the anti-free speech company is seemingly refusing to acknowledge it. The Washington Post gave airtime to Arab Amazon employees who are demanding that their company break off contracts with Israel. The company avoided any honest admission of the anti-Semitism problem in a statement provided to the outlet‚ which is owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. “Arab employees at Amazon say harassment is increasing as support grows for their bid to kill a cloud computing contract with Israel‚” the Post trumpeted‚ but no clear evidence of harassment was provided and The Post also provided no acknowledgment that anti-Israel activism could intimidate Jewish employees. Some Amazon employees that attended an “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People” claimed to feel “intimidated” because‚ as The Post put it‚ their “celebration” was interrupted by fliers with images of Israelis kidnapped by Hamas. The Post‚ meanwhile‚ also trumpeted quotes from Amazon employees who falsely accused Israel of apartheid (there is no occupation or apartheid). There was no acknowledgment by The Post that Hamas recently violated the ceasefire by firing rockets at Israel‚ according to The Times of Israel. While Amazon has not broken its contract with Israel’s government cloud computing Project Nimbus‚ the Big Tech company appeared to avoid honest discussion of its employees apparent anti-Semitism problem in a statement provided to The Post. “We don’t tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind in the workplace‚” Amazon spokesman Rob Munoz vaguely rambled. “We investigate all reported incidents of such behavior and take appropriate action against any employee who is found to have violated our policies‚ up to and including termination.” Regarding Project Nimbus‚ Munoz babbled that Amazon “is focused on making the benefits of our world-leading cloud technology available to all our customers‚ wherever they are located.” The petition from 1‚700 Amazon employees reportedly screeched that‚ “Amazon is bolstering the artificial intelligence and surveillance capabilities of the Israeli military used to repress Palestinian activists and impose a brutal siege on Gaza.” “Blame the petition drive if your Amazon packages arrive late. The leaders of this effort probably spent more time gathering signatures than doing their jobs‚” said Dan Schneider‚ MRC Vice President for Free Speech. “We advocate for free speech rights‚ including for those who spout heinous beliefs. America is a wonderful place and so is Israel. Maybe the petition signers will learn this one day.”  While The Post cited Arab employees claiming that they face mounting harassment‚ the only evidence provided was the apparent interruption of the solidarity event and argument online about Palestinian jihad. There was no mention of the negativity Jewish employees might be receiving from the anti-Israel activists. “There’s such tension between Arabs and Jewish employees right now‚” one employee told The Post. Amazon is not the only Big Tech company with an apparent anti-Semitism problem. Google’s AI Bard refused in October to provide honest information on Hamas. In addition‚ Google reassigned its head of Diversity‚ Equity and Inclusion‚ Kamau Bobb‚ after he posted on social media that “Jews have an insatiable appetite for war.” TikTok boasted in October about removing over 500‚000 videos about the Hamas-Israel conflict‚ with the Chinese government-tied app reportedly targeting anti-Hamas videos.

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers‚ a Democrat‚ has vetoed commonsense legislation that would prohibit health care providers from providing transgender-related measures to minors."A health care provider may not engage in‚ cause the engagement in‚ or make a referral for‚ any of the following practices upon a minor for the purpose of changing the minor's body to correspond to a sex that is discordant with the minor's biological sex‚" the measure states.In that context‚ the proposal would bar the performance of mastectomies and various other types of surgical procedures on minors. It would prohibit administering‚ prescribing‚ and supplying puberty blockers for the purpose of stopping or delaying normal puberty. It would also forbid giving "supraphysiologic doses of testosterone or other androgens to biological females" and "supraphysiologic doses of estrogen to biological males‚" terminology which refers to doses higher than the levels that would not normally be found in a person's body. It also prohibits the removal of healthy body parts and tissues.The measure allows exceptions in cases involving "a minor born with a medically verifiable genetic disorder of sex development‚" as well as situations involving treatment of a problem caused or aggravated by a gender transition procedure‚ and for procedures performed in order to protect a minor from "death or impairment of a major bodily function."Evers issued a statement discussing his move to veto the measure."I am vetoing this bill in its entirety because I object to restricting physicians from providing evidence-based and medically appropriate care to their patients‚ restricting parents from making decisions with physicians to ensure their kids receive the healthcare they need‚ and preventing patients from receiving that basic‚ life-saving care‚" Evers said in the veto message."This type of legislation‚ and the rhetoric beget by pursuing it‚ harms LGBTQ people and kids' mental health‚ emboldens anti-LGBTQ hate and violence‚ and threatens the safety and dignity of LGBTQ Wisconsinites. I will veto any bill that makes Wisconsin a less safe‚ less inclusive‚ and less welcoming place for LGBTQ people and kids‚" he declared.Like Blaze News?

Comedian Bill Burr launched into a rant berating "f***ing stupid" liberals for making former President Donald Trump a martyr and ensuring his relevance in politics. Burr was a guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" when he launched into the rant criticizing liberals for helping the former president by angering his base with the numerous indictments made against Trump. "If you want to see a great case on narcissism ... liberals are so f***ing stupid‚ the way that they handled Trump‚" said Burr. "What do you mean?" asked Kimmel. "You should shut up! He's a narcissist! Neutral energy!" Burr responded. "You think he would go away if we stopped‚" replied Kimmel before being interrupted. "You know what I think he was‚ I think he was a one-hit wonder‚ right‚ he wrote 'The Twist‚'" said Burr‚ referring to the 60s radio hit by Chubby Checker. "And then that was it. He was on the casino circuit‚ and then you idiot liberals wrote him 'Twist Again' when you indicted him!" Burr continued. "And now he's a martyr! He's coming back‚ Jimmy! He's comin' back! It's gonna be great for comedy!" Burr went on to opine that he hoped both President Joe Biden and Trump died from natural causes before the election so that someone younger could run in their stead. "With any luck‚ they'll both die of natural causes before the election‚ and maybe you could get somebody that still has something to live for‚" Burr said to laughter and applause from the audience. The popular comedian has previously made headlines for brazenly opposing politically correctness. In 2021‚ he defended actress Gina Carano‚ who was fired from "The Mandalorian" over her right-wing posts on social media. "I am a big believer in if you are wrong‚ and if you feel you’re wrong‚ you apologize‚" said Burr on a podcast in 2022. "But I’m not a believer in the mob mentality‚ and I’m not gonna apologize just cause it’s not worth it. Because then all I do is give that strength that it’s okay to do that and then some other comic’s going to have to deal with it." Here's the video of Burr's rant: Like Blaze News?
